If it's a take out special, I order from Pizza Nova here in Southern Ontario they do a half way decent thin crust. I love Gino's East when I am in Chicago, you can drown someone in their deep dish pizza. Here in Greater Toronto the better gourmet pizza would be Terroni's.

If I am downtown Toronto near UofT, the best slice is Pizza Gigi bar none.

I just read through this thread and cried a little. I can't believe people are listing Pizza Hut and Domino's; de gustibus non est disputandum. Maybe it's just me, but I don't even like California Pizza Kitchen and the whole "gourmet" pizza movement.

My favorite pizza is traditional Neapolitan: marinara or Margherita (di bufala). 2 Amys is the best I've had in DC, hands down; Pizzeria Paradiso is only worthwhile for the beer list.

I went to california pizza kitchen once...What a joke. I ordered a BBQ chicken pie thinking it would just have some BBQ on top. Instead it was just pizza with BBQ sauce instead of tomato sauce and chicken. It was gross. Thats not pizza.

Don't know how familiar you are with pizza, but using bbq sauce instead of tomato sauce is the definition of a bbq chicken pizza. Out of all the times I've had it and out of all the pizza places I've been to, I've never seen it done any other way. Same deal with pesto pizza.

That's my point. It's not pizza. Its bread in the shape of pizza with bbq sauce, cheese, and chicken.

BBQ chicken pizza is BBQ or grilled chicken sliced and than used as the topping. That's how I had eaten it my entire life before my visit to the california pizza kitchen.
